This week is full of important economic events. Firstly, traders will focus on the US inflation rate data. Economists are predicting a slight decline in inflation. This data, released after Friday’s jobs report, will likely set expectations for the size and pace of Fed rate cuts in the coming months. The Fed will release the minutes of its September meeting on Wednesday, and investors will look for indications of what officials think about the pace of further easing. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand will also meet on Wednesday, and market watchers believe it may follow the Fed’s lead and cut rates by half a point. The UK is due to release monthly GDP and industrial production data. At the end of the week, the banking sector will open the US third-quarter reporting season. Also, this week, geopolitical risks will be in focus due to the escalating situation between Iran and Israel. Rising geopolitical risk could lead to the buying of assets such as gold and the dollar and potentially affect oil prices.

The most important Wednesday release for investors will be the FOMC Meeting Minutes, which will provide more information on policymakers’ outlook for the future trajectory of interest rates. Investors often study meeting minutes, looking for some sort of advantage or insight into future rate decisions. Powell has already signaled that another rate cut may be needed this year. Also, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will hold a monetary policy meeting on Wednesday. And there is a high probability of a 0.5% rate cut, which could hurt the NZD. Also, in the US session, several FOMC representatives will comment on the monetary policy situation, which may cause increased volatility.

On Thursday, investors should closely monitor the US consumer price index data. Overall inflation is expected to fall from 2.5% to 2.3% y/y, while core inflation (excluding food and energy prices) is expected to fall from 3.2% to 3.1% y/y. Such readings increase the probability of more aggressive rate cuts by the US Fed in November, which is negative for the USD in the medium term. Thus, if the data points to some resilience in inflation, more investors may be convinced that the Fed will proceed as planned, cutting interest rates by 25 bps in each of its November and December decisions. This would, on the contrary, be supportive of the US dollar.

We will see the release of a big batch of UK stats on Friday. The main reports will be GDP and industrial production data. Disappointing figures may reinforce Bailey’s statements on the acceleration of interest rate cuts and push the pound down. Also, traders’ focus should be on the Canadian labor market data. Weak data will increase the probability of another rate cut by the Bank of Canada, which may pressure CAD. It’s a bank holiday in Hong Kong.
